NTBA Nationals
Important Information for coaches and team parents
Email 3: Players do NOT have to be present at team check-in ( you can however sign up for team pictures and see info on that below ). Every coach getting a coaches pass/wristband MUST be present at team check-in in order to receive their coaches pass/wristband as NTBA will put the wristband on every coach.
You MUST wear the wristband ON your wrist (and no where else) for the entire tournament. If you choose not to wear one you will need to purchase a daily wristband at the gate each day.
Each team will receive will three (3) free coaches passes/wristbands and you can choose to purchase a 4th pass for $35. Each team can only receive a total of four (4) coaches passes. We do not care who the coaches passes go to for each team, but you can only receive a maximum of 4 passes (3 free ones and 1 extra for $35).
Note: If a particular coach is not available to come to the team/coach check-in then that particular coach will just simply need to come by the Myrtle Beach Sports Center BEFORE their first game (in plenty of time to pick it up). Coaches passes can only be picked up at the Myrtle Beach Sports Center.

Email 2: Player Verification Process *ALL players MUST get verified before playing in their first game* NTBA will be doing a contact free player check-in this year for NTBA Nationals. You must take care of these items ( see options below) before the tournament starts! ALL players MUST be verified BEFORE they play their first game. You have two options to get your players verified. Option 1: (and the one we HIGHLY recommend so you don't have to bring all the paperwork with you) is to do EVERYTHING through NSID. Option 2: is to bring everything with you and we will verify all players during the team check-in. See below for the two options: OPTION 1: National Sports ID (NSID) - we HIGHLY recommend this option This option is the one we HIGHLY recommend! There is a small fee ($10/player) however it is good for 365 days and most other tournaments are now accepting NSID for player verification as well. You can create the team account and forward everything to the parents to do and they would pay the small $10 fee. Click the link below for the NTBA NSID Link to get started: https://www.nationalsportsid.com/ntba-age-grade-verification/ For the Girls Nationals, scroll to the bottom of that page and click on "get verified" for GIRLS GRADE BASED NATIONALS (this will assure you are getting verified by NTBA rules). Note: NSID has a "chat" feature on their website that can help you with any questions you or your parents have. If you choose to get verified through NSID you will not have to bring anything to NTBA during the coach check-in as NSID will take care of all of that for you! Coaches will still need to check in before you play to get your coaches passes and receive other discounted coupons for things to do in the area, but you do NOT need to bring any paperwork with you to the tournament. *Please make sure ALL players are on your roster are VERIFIED through NSID before arriving to Nationals if you choose this option. Players will not be allowed to play in games until they are officially VERIFIED through NSID. You as the coach will receive a team verification 'green check' that you can show to all other tournaments you play which will be great for you for future tournaments. You can pass the small fee along to the parents to pay as they are getting their players verified through NSID. NOTE: If your team is already verified through NSID, make sure you connect your team to our NTBA Girls National Championship tournament on NSID (if you have problems connecting to our event, simply "chat" with NSID on their website and ask them to connect your team to NTBA Girls Nationals for you on their end). -------- OPTION 2: Bring ALL paperwork with you to the Coach Check-In at NTBA Nationals If you don't get verified through NSID then you MUST do ALL of the following and have everything neatly organized in a folder at the Coach Check-In Items you MUST have at NTBA Coach Check-In: 1. Roster (see link below for the team roster form for NTBA - please fill out in full and have ready to turn in to NTBA during team/coach check-in). NTBA will keep this Roster Form. 2. Copy of a report card for all players on the roster (or something to prove what grade they were in this past school year). 3. Copy of a birth certificate for all players on the roster (or something with their date of birth on it to prove how old they are such as a copy of a passport). 4. Picture of all players on the roster (simply take a picture which can be a head shot/profile pic at practice and have it posted along with their birth certificate & report card). 5. Signed Parent Waiver Form for all players on the roster (see link below for this form). Note: Please organize in a folder/binder/book each individual player and her paperwork separately so that when we go through the folder each player's info is together so it would look like: - "Player A" will have her picture along with her Signed Parent Waiver, Copy of Birth Certificate, Copy of Report Card all together for player A - "Player B" will have her picture along with her Signed Parent Waiver, Copy of Birth Certificate, Copy of Report Card all together for player B - and continue for ALL players Note: Any player you think at any point might play during NTBA Nationals MUST be on the Team Roster Form you turn in at team check-in as you can NOT add players during the week/later on. NTBA Forms for Option 2 TEAM ROSTER FOR NTBA PLAYER WAIVER FORM FOR NTBA NOTE: Whether you choose option 1 or 2, any player that is not verified or you don't have ALL paperwork for (including a signed parent waiver) will NOT be able to play in any games until you get the proper paperwork for them! Make sure to get this organized BEFORE you come in town! If you choose Option 1 (NSID), you simply just need to make sure each player's parent has done all requirements online through NSID and you will be good and no paperwork is needed to bring with you.
